People who have dealt with layoffs and little to no income...still homeschooling while the husband hits the pavement in search of the next job. IF mom went to work, it was to a job that permitted her to continue teaching the children. Parent's that were widow, parents with spouse's in jail, parents where one is undergoing a multitude of surgeries, through bedrest, etc. IT'S POSSIBLE. Not always easy, but possible. Through some circumstances, homeschooling can make family life more bearable through the circumstance and actually SAVE money.
As to the sin issue...I understand that not everyone is where I'm at on the issue and IRL, I don't sit in judgement of them...however, this is how I view it: would it be sin for me to send my children to a muslim school? (yes, I'm borrowing the question) | I realize I helped contribute to the OT discussion but the original issue was Christian School (church run IIRC) vs Homeschool. Why would it be a bad thing to require a pastor to send his kids to a Christian school that is supported by the church? No Public Schools involved in the controversy.
